Installation

Docker

Using Docker and docker-compose:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

Teddit should now be running at http://localhost:8080.

Manual

Install Node.js.
(Optional) Install redis-server.

Highly recommended – it works as a cache for Reddit API calls.

(Optional) Install ffmpeg.

It's needed if you want to support videos.

# Linux
apt install redis-server ffmpeg

# macOS
brew install redis

Clone and set up the repository.

git clone https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
cd teddit
npm install --no-optional
cp config.js.template config.js # edit the file to suit your environment
redis-server
npm start
